there is a relation between the no of teeth in ring gear,sun gear and plant gears are there(2R=S+P) Like that any relation between no teeth in plant and sun gears?

Hi, as the pitch has to be the same, the n0 of teeths are proportional to the gear radius, so R=2P+S.
 
According to Wikipedia:

Equation: N subscript a = N subscript s + 2 N subscript p, relating the tooth counts of a planetary gear set.
can be rewritten as
Equation: nωs + (2 + n)ωa − 2(1 + n)ωc = 0, a planetary gear speed relation with omega terms for sun, arm and ring.
where
Equation n = N_s/N_p, with n on the left and a fraction of N_s over N_p on the right.
